Can BV affect sex in the way of not being able to orgasm?

Sorry to be so blunt but I not read this in any symptoms. Have had my BV for like 6 months now. Tried antibiotics but couldn't take full dose as made me ill. For months it not really affected me having an orgasm but the past month it has and its just not happening. Well to be honest we've only been touching not actual sex to be safer and not been a prob. Sometimes its flared up abit after. Also I never get any bad smell. That part has never been an issue but definitely have BV as had tests. But would like to know if the infection can affect orgasms.

    Has never affected me, maybe you are thinking about the BV instead of the pleasure (subconsciously)??

      Thanks, yes possibly? Though to be honest I was more worried in the earlier days/months that I had this.

      No, not physically. But I agree with Andrea, I have found myself pre-occupied with BV while with my partner and couldn't stay focused on the moment. sad
